1. The page didn't load for me, but

I almost got a Blackberry the other day when I went to upgrade my phone as part of my plan. Would've cost me $100.

3. I'm not eligible to upgrade for another six months.

I had a blackberry when we had Nextel, but they suck here, so we switched to sprint and those phones didn't work.

5. I think that's reasonable. Just make sure to read the small print and everything and compare the

specs because they have different blackberry styles, so you might miss out on a feature. But overall, I think that deal sounds about right. Tech moves fast and those prices drop quickly. I remember when the razr first came out, it was 300 bucks, I waited until I got it for 20 bucks.

6. I imagine it comes with a 2 year contract with Sprint

I didn't check the fine details, but it had "Sprint" after the name, which has always, in my experience of cell phones and devices such as these, meant that the device can only be gotten for that price with a two year (sometimes one year) service contract.
